Lead core for 15/21 inch walleyes
Boring


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

I if all you catch is 15/21 inch fish i guess it would be boring.


In regards to the question, I like the tufline micro lead core. I can fit a 10 color on a 30 size reel with plenty of backing.

What am I doing wrong, I was out of the Catt this morning, started out in 80fow, didn’t mark any fish . . Traveled west to out n front of the windmills in 70fow . . . No fish. Through out a chartreuse worm harness, not one bite, through ou another rod with a purple spoon tipped with a worm . .

nothing . . . 6 hrs didn’t mark anything 2:30 decided to started in, switched to a triple D worm harness blue/black/clear nailed a 28” steelhead in 50’ of watertrolled for another hour and a half, marked nothing, decided to call it a day. It’s hard for believe everyone is limiting out and I don’t see anything, this was like my third time out in the last 30 days without marking fish, or able to catch more than one fish!

What are you using to try and get down to the fish? How fast are you trolling? Dipseys (what setting and how many feet back)?, downriggers (what depth)?, leadcore(how many colors)?

Bills hooks in Dunkirk has just about very color of Renosky

For the most part straight out in 85 to 105 ft has been best.  The fish are all over and spread out. They are not hard to find and they are hitting just about anything you put out.

Caught a bunch today to the west.  90 to 105ft was best.  Riggers down 66 to 70ft with spoons, 10 color lead, and dispsey set on one 150ft back worked best.  Speed varied but 2.3 to 2.5 was best today.

It should get better.  Some of that colder water pushed west since yesterday and in turn pushed the fish higher in the water today as compared to yesterday.

80 to 100ft out of dk

We did 15 total today.  Most on 7 and 8 color lead, couple on wire dipseys set on 1, 110 ft back.  Caught a couple on riggers 40ft down.  All fish on stickbaits running 2.4 to 2.6 at the ball.

Water was 68 degrees down to at least 65 ft today everywhere I went out of dunkirk.  Tough bite, managed to get 6 solo, but took a while to get them.

Any idea if the races off Dunkirk will effect fishing between the Catt and stergeon?

They are racing in the immediate vicinity of the dunkirk harbor only.

Fished tonight out of dunkirk.  The water temp is 72 at the surface and around 54 degrees 50 ft down.  The temp break is at around 45 ft deep.  We caught fish anywhere from 67 ft ro 85 ft of water.

I have a few smaller steelhead that I cleaned up but did not fillet, thinking that the fillets would end up being too thin for smoking. Will this work on whole fish with the skin on? 

Musky Bob, could you please post your smoked salmon brine recipe.  Thanks

Like RD9 said, it's easy out there right now.  You don't need to troll slow and run harnesses unless you really want to mess with worms.  We have been trolling sticks and spoons at 2.5 to 2.7 for the last 3 weeks and have caught just as many fish as the next guy.  Bonus of trolling faster and deep is you can pick up steelhead at the same time as walleye.

When fishing for walleye I turn my chamberlains out 3 to 3.5 turns from bottoming out.  They will release on small eyes when set up like this.

Spoons off of riggers down 85 worked best for us today west of dunkirk. Caught around 20 fish, kept 12, west of Dunkirk from 8:45 am to noon. Super slims in perch pattern, chicken wing and another that I don't know the name of. All were copper blanks.

We caught a mid 7's this morning, biggest out of the 12 we kept.  A guy on the dock said that they had a 9 lber when we came in at 12:30.

You can send them Tuna's Reel Troubles and have them repaired/upgraded with a quick turn around.  http://www.tunasreeltroubles.com/

Is that what you typically run your speed at The probe or do you vary and do you usually stay with one program of all sticks or all harnesses or do you mix and match


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

I usually run 1.8 to 2.0 most of the time.  I wasn't getting any hits yesterday at that speed so I sped up to 2.4 to 2.5 and started picking up fish so I left it there.  Today I was trolling at 2.2 to 2.3 and picked up a few.  I mix harnesses and sticks and pick up fish on both at the same time,  most people run one or the other.
